Guitarist and singer Aaron Topkona has died. Photo: Melissa Cowan via NZ HeraldKiwi musician Aaron Tokona, the frontman for 90s rock band Weta, has died. Tokona, live and in the studio, played with a mountain of musicians including Weta with brother Clinton, Fly My Pretties, Bongmaster, Fat Freddy's Drop, The Adults and Cairo Knife Fight. He worked on a Kim Dotcom album as well but preferred to leave that partnership in the past. He was "empowered as a Maori performer" from watching artists like Prince Tui Teka and Billy T James in the 1980s.
